New in 1.10 is a separate ladder zone. Ladder characters cannot join games with non-ladder characters and vice-versa, therefore, ladder items are items on ladder characters. Note that ladder items will eventually become non-ladder items as ladder characters become non-ladder characters at the end of each ladder season.
I havent been on diablo for awhile and could some one tell me WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LADDER AND NON-LADDER ITEMS.
The ladder has some items that are not available on non-ladder. These items may become very popular/expensive once the ladder chars are moved to non ladder status (end of this ladder season).
Other than that they are the same.
Also there are a few recipes for the cube that are ladder only recipes.
I think blizzard did this as incentive for people to make ladder characters.
Another incentive was to have people start from scratch, and not always having really good stuff automatically at high levels. Does anyone actually know any info concerning when the Ladder Season ends?
I am a moron, this whole ladder confuses me. I used to play a couple years ago and noone played ladder and now thats the place to be. But I just dont get the ladder thing. Why the hell is there ladder and non-ladder? WTF. I am losing my fing mind. I cant stand it anymore, somebody help me . AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Ok relax horbar, basically ladder is alot harder, like the monsters act like champion monsters and everything is harder. Since its harder there are some exclusive items in ladder play that wouldnt be on normal non-ladder (see arreat summit). Ladder works like hardcore where its a whole different place and cannot join any nonladder games. Ladder also has more cube recipe's basically u can make any rune like zod and all the rest of them (very attractive feature) and i think that about sums it up.
You forgot to mention the idea of other cool items, like BOTD or Breath of the Dying...Such an awesome weapon
.And.
About this end of season how does that work out? Do you start over in ladder or are you moved to non-ladder and what happens to your items? Do they get deleted?
